Chapter 132: The Calculation of the Poisonous Woman of the Deep Palace
Queen Fu Mingyue's hair did not wear a red hairpin, and she only wore a stone blue regular dress on her body, her expression was slightly haggard, and before An Ge entered the hall, she stared at the curling green smoke in the copper smoker in a daze.
"Queen Mother, Miss An has arrived." Zicui came over and said, Fu Mingyue came back to her senses, and hurriedly asked someone to bring An Ge in.
When An Ge entered the hall, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, Fu Mingyue hurriedly got up and personally helped her up, gave her a seat, and sat down in her position, and asked first: "How are you doing recently?" Did Jinglan bully you? ”
An Ge looked up suspiciously, although this sentence sounded like he was concerned about himself on the surface, but when he listened carefully, he always felt a little ambiguous in it...... Anyway, Jinglan is a big general, what is she doing to bully her? Listening to the queen's tone, it seems that she is inquiring into the private affairs of other young couples......
An Ge didn't quite understand, so he had to stop answering that sentence, and only said, "It's all good." ”
"That's good." Fortunately, the queen did not continue to dwell on this issue, hesitated for a moment, sighed quietly, and said again, "Actually, this palace announced that you have entered the palace today, because I want to ask you for help." ”
An Ge was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly straightened his body and replied seriously: "The queen mother just orders!" ”
"It's just a matter of recently, the two princesses of Wu Kingdom entered Beijing in Fufeng Jiyue." There was a trace of sadness between the queen's eyebrows, and she said, "Wu Guo sent the princess for a very clear purpose, just to make peace, but ...... However, the emperor only selected a group of show girls to enter the palace a few days ago, and if he accepted the princess into the palace so quickly, it might make the people think that the emperor was a promiscuous person. ”
That won't be! The emperor's affairs, where do the people dare to talk nonsense casually, besides, the emperor is already very restrained in marrying concubines, and there are not many concubines with grades today, so marrying two more is not in the way at all.
But An Ge opened his mouth, saw the queen's sad face, and choked down again.
It seems that the real reason for Empress Fu is not that she is afraid that accepting two more princesses into the palace will make the emperor be scolded by the people, but just that she is unwilling to share her husband with two more people. Or is it some other deeper reason, I don't want these two princesses of Wu to enter the palace.
Seeing that An Ge didn't speak, the queen added: "This is not just the meaning of the palace, the emperor also privately told the palace that he didn't want to let the two princesses of Wu Kingdom enter the palace." In the early years of the emperor's time, after Concubine Jing entered the palace, something happened, in short, it was very unpleasant between the two countries. ”
It's about Concubine Jing, then it's possible that it's about her mother, An Ge raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what the matter is?" ”
"This ...... In fact, the palace is not very clear, when Concubine Jing entered the palace, the palace was still young. The queen looked at An Ge, and the topic changed back, "You help the palace and the emperor, and tell the two princesses to dispel the idea of entering the palace." ”
An Ge thought for a while and asked, "Can't you ask the emperor to send the two princesses back directly?" Wu is just a weak country attached to our country, and the emperor doesn't want it, so will they still have a tough attitude and can't resist? ”
"Naturally, they don't have the courage to resist, but I'm a country of etiquette, so I won't say that I will send princesses between countries, but that there is a person who is still useful to you for the time being wants to please you and give you gifts, although his status is much worse than yours, but if you don't accept and return other people's gifts, can you still have a good relationship with him?"
Such an analogy seems to be the truth, and if the two princesses are really sent back, these two innocent princesses will not want to live in the Wu country.
The state of Wu and the state of Li have always been
All follow the way of Confucianism, nearly a hundred years and the rise of science, Wu Guo to Li Guo like the same, Li Guo pays attention to three from the four virtues, Wu Guo is even more. Therefore, if the princess who was sent out to kiss is returned, she will not talk about the shame, and she will be scolded by the people.
However, with such a big responsibility, what did the queen give her?
An Ge shifted his body and said uncomfortably: "Queen Mother, the reason is understood, but An Ge doesn't know what to do......"
The queen saw that she meant to agree, and said with a smile: "Princess Wu Guo, if you don't go back, you can give marriage to the ministers of the court, you have made the "Beijing Daily" prosperous, and in today's issue, the palace saw that you wrote the names of several outstanding men in Beijing, presumably you must be familiar with these men." You pick one of the two princesses, see which ones are marriageable and have good status, and then introduce them to the two princesses. ”
"I ...... The queen mother, this matter is better than the courtiers to leave this matter to a random noble woman in the capital than the courtiers, the courtiers have no identity, and the other has no connections, most of the men mentioned in the palace newspaper are hearsay of the courtiers, in fact, the courtiers don't know them at all. ”
Besides, she is an unmarried little girl, and she comes out to help others be matchmakers, how bad it is.
There is a saying that doesn't say, don't ask for men introduced by unmarried girls, because those are not good men, good men are left to themselves, and it is your turn?
"There is no one in Beijing who can speak as well, and those two princesses are the same age as you, and you little girls know the preferences of little girls best." The queen got up and held her hand, and begged bitterly, "An Ge, this matter can only be entrusted to you, you must help the palace." ”
The queen has saved her life many times, and no matter how unreasonable her request is, An Ge can't open her mouth to refuse.
After hesitating for a moment, he had to say, "Courtier, give it a try...... It's just that the courtiers are just the daughters of a minor official outside Wupin Beijing, and it is not polite for them to befriend a foreign princess in this capacity? ”
Seeing that she agreed, the queen also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, the palace has already told the emperor to restore your title of county lord, so that the two princesses are the cousins of the Seventh Prince, and you are the righteous sister of the Seventh Prince, so you should be closer." ”
"Good...... All right. "Even this has been taken into account, and it seems that this head must be taken out by itself.
After An Ge left the palace, the queen sighed faintly and said to herself, "Do you say that An Ge can understand what I mean?" Am I going too far? ”
Zicui saw that her eyes were red, and she said helplessly: "Niangniang doesn't have to blame herself, Miss An has always been smart, presumably she will arrange a good place for the two princesses." ”
As the palace maid next to the queen, Zicui sometimes has to feel that the queen is too indecisive, and she has to blame herself for a long time if she pushes someone out to take the blame.
As a queen, with so much power, shouldn't she push people out?
Zicui knew her character very well, and it was not easy to persuade her, so she had to stand behind and accompany her to be sad for a while.
An Ge returned to his residence, took out this issue of "Beijing Daily", and stared at the names listed at the back in a daze.
People are also princesses, and they definitely can't be low. There are only a handful of unmarried outstanding men in the DPRK, Xu Qi is one, but Xu Qi was booked by Liu Pingle, and she will definitely not push out the man that her friends fancied.
Ange crossed out again
Some of the famous and powerless shell families have crossed out some of those with low status, and the rest seem to be only Jinglan who is excellent in all aspects......
She was in a daze, when Ning Jiu came over and said that Jinglan had come to her to talk about the "Beijing News" again.
An Ge also happened to want to ask him if he would like to marry a princess, so he followed.
She briefly reported the sales and voting volume of today's "Beijing News", and seeing that Jinglan didn't say anything, she stepped into the topic again: "The queen called me into the palace tonight and sent me an errand ......"
An Ge told Jing Lan the queen's order in a few words, and after listening to what she said, Jing Lan had an ominous premonition in her heart and asked, "What do you tell me to do?" ”
An Ge bit his lower lip, organized his words in his heart, and said, "Now you are the one with the best conditions in Beijing and unmarried, are you willing to marry one of them?" I heard from the queen that those two princesses were impeccable in appearance and valuable in status......"
Before An Ge finished speaking, Jing Lan had a cold face, and slapped the table with a "snap", which frightened An Ge and didn't dare to continue talking.
For the first time, she saw anger in Jing Lan's eyes, and she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and lowered her head and said, "You...... If you don't want to, forget it. ”
Jing Lan stared at her for a long time before she reluctantly spoke: "It seems that the queen is not a good person, otherwise she would not have arranged this kind of errand for you." ”
can be so disrespectful to the queen behind her back, and scold her for not being a good person, it will be Jinglan.
An Ge twisted his eyebrows, and said to defend the queen: "Although this is a troublesome matter, you can't say that about the queen." ”
Jing Lan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly scolded: "Stupid thing, don't talk to me from today on!" After scolding, he got up and left.
An Ge still has some confusion...... If you don't want to, you don't want to, just say it, she can find someone else for the two princesses, why is it so hot!
Ning Jiu, who was following An Ge, sighed helplessly, and walked out while An Ge was packing up the newspaper and caught up with Jing Lan.
"The master is angry with Miss An?"
Jinglan didn't reply: "Shouldn't I be angry?" She's usually so smart, and she's stupid when she encounters this kind of thing. Why didn't the queen let others find relatives for the two princesses of Wu, and she had to come to find them? It was the queen who made up her mind to shove one or both of the two princesses into me. ”
Ning Jiu also had some doubts before, and he didn't know why the queen had to ask An Ge to find a marriage for the two princesses, from what point of view, An Ge was too suitable.
Now listening to Jing Lan's simple words, she also understands in her heart.
The queen didn't want her husband to marry these two princesses, and she also knew that in addition to the emperor in Beijing, Jinglan's identity was the most suitable. However, the queen also knew that Jing Lan was bent on marrying An Ge, she didn't dare to open this mouth and give the princess directly to Jing Lan, and she also knew that this matter was entrusted to any noble lady in the capital, and Jing Lan would not bird her, so she sent it to An Ge.
"Hey, Miss An is so young, how do you know the calculations of these deep palace women, don't be angry, the slave goes back and talks to Miss An." Ning Jiu hurriedly opened his mouth and comforted.
Jing Lan snorted coldly: "You don't have to say anything, tell her to think clearly by herself." Then tell her that if she thinks it is best for me to marry the princess, I am not unwilling. ”
Yes? Ning Jiu looked at Jing Lan in surprise, and he was a little confused about his thoughts for a while.
